The Vaccine Rollout: How’s it going? Or Not?
January 27, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Dr. Eric Schneider, senior vice president for policy and research at The Commonwealth Fund, will talk with Meg Tirrell, senior health and science reporter at CNBC, about the vaccine rollout so far. Dr. Schneider has studied previous flu and H1N1 vaccine programs. How do they apply–or not–to what we see now? Why do some states appear to be so behind in getting vaccines into the arms of Americans? What should reporters be looking for to gauge success? What should they be looking for to help their readers, viewers and listeners?
The session is produced by SABEW’s Health Care project through a grant from The Commonwealth Fund.
